Heterosexual white men thinking their entitled to whatever they want and if they can't get it.... Watch out

There are plenty of possessive MEN, straight and gay; black and white. But rarely do we encounter deranged fucking psychopaths.

I mentioned this earlier, but I kind of think something isn't adding up in the TMZ report. They say the murderer got angry when he found out she had a boyfriend through social media

But Christina kept her relationship private and the boyfriend didn't admit they were dating or post personal pics confirming the relationship until AFTER her murder.

Even her hardcore fans didn't know she was dating this guy and are surprised

So I don't get how the murderer found out because it definitely wasn't through social media. Either TMZ is wrong or this guy was so obsessed he was able to find out information about Christina that no one else knew

It's so sad to know that she will never hear Change . I really think she would have loved it. This really would have fit in the style of the stripped back songs she did for own music and I could have seen Change becoming her latest YouTube cover.

Family friend Maurice LaMarche (who played The Brain on Pinky & The Brain) shared the reactions of Christina's parents, Bud and Tina.

I held this man, this fellow dad, who towered over me, both physically, and as a good and decent human being, in my arms as he wept. Bud is a Christian, and his first words to me on that awful night as he waited on my driveway were, “I know I’ll see her again. I have faith in that, but the time between now and then is going to be so very long and painful, I don’t know how I’ll get through it.”

Tina Grimmie was too overwhelmed to travel to Orlando to make arrangements for Christina's body to be brought back to New Jersey and had to be held wailing over Christina

You see, I had just spent the past 20 hours at the home of the Grimmie family, and my wife Robin even more hours than that, caring for Tina Grimmie, who was too bereft at the news of her daughter Christina’s senseless murder on Friday night as she signed autographs at a meet and greet after her concert, to travel to Orlando (yes, the same city as the nightclub massacre that would take place twenty-four hours later) to make the arrangements every parent dreads in their darkest dreams. That, and the fact that Tina has been bravely battling numerous forms of cancer for the past 5 years or more, leaving her debilitated as well as despondent.

Don’t try to fix them with platitudes because you’re uncomfortable with their sadness and, even more so, their rage. Just shut the fuck up with that, and hug them, and tell them you’re so sorry and you cannot imagine what they’re going through, because, trust me, you can’t. And then sit with them for 24 hours, and make them some soup, and do their dishes, and cook them breakfast, and run to them in the night when you hear them wailing in the bedroom and hold them some more, silently, and fall asleep beside them, as my Robin did for Tina.

so was the shooter at the concert or did he just show up at the meet and greet? its kinda of scary to know being at a concert the whole time he had a gun. her death is so sad because she had no choice unlike selfish people like Michael, Whitney and prince. So so sad. RIP.

The funeral is being broadcast live now which I figured would happen given that Christina started out as a Youtube artist
Right now it seems to be mostly people talking to the priest. The memorial service itself starts at 8 PM EST
